Chapter 965: Chapter 389 Philosophical Issues_3 Chapter 965: Chapter 389 Philosophical Issues_3 Yan Fei was somewhat puzzled and said, “Little Rou, why did you suddenly think of this question?”

Wen Rou smiled and replied, “Maybe it's because today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and I feel particularly moved!”

Yan Fei said, “Little Rou, you have been working hard recently, and you might be under a lot of pressure. How about this? After the Spring Festival, we stop working for a while, and I accompany you to travel around the world!”

Yan Fei knew that Wen Rou had been busy managing the Terminal Illness Hospital lately, and had also been in charge of relief efforts in Kenya. Plus, spending Lunar New Year's Eve alone abroad, she must have started to miss her family; that's likely why she was so touched by the game.

Yan Fei didn't want Wen Rou to be under too much pressure, so he thought of temporarily leaving his work behind to travel the world with her, using the trip to alleviate the unease in her heart.

However, Wen Rou did not answer Yan Fei's question. She looked at a painting in Yan Fei's study and asked, “Little Fei, do you know the real name of the painting on the wall?”

Yan Fei replied, “Of course! It's called 'Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?' and was created by French painter Paul Gauguin in 1892.”

Yan Fei had once taken advantage of the Louvre Museum in France being flooded to collect a great number of art pieces, which he did not return to the Louvre but kept in his Secret Warehouse on Dream Island.

Later, when Yan Fei was renovating his house and felt that the walls looked too blank without decorations, he decided to take many of the paintings from his Warehouse to decorate. 'Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?' was hung in Yan Fei's study. Now, with his extraordinary memory and some knowledge about the painting, he was able to immediately give the correct answer when Wen Rou inquired.

The painting is highly philosophical because it asks three fundamental philosophical questions: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?

Many people ponder these three philosophical questions subconsciously from a young age, but even as adults or at the point of death, they still may not be able to find an answer. Yan Fei had also pondered these questions when he was studying and equally came up empty-handed. However, Yan Fei believed that if he could find specific answers to these three questions, it would mean he had discovered the true meaning of life.

Wen Rou said, “Sometimes I also think about these three questions, but I can't come up with any answers. It feels like I am trapped in a cognitive disorder, not knowing who I am, where I come from, or where I am going.”

Yan Fei laughed and said, “This is a philosophical hypothesis; there are no right answers, and only someone who has lost their mind would seriously ponder it. You can just dismiss it as the trickery of philosophers.”

Suddenly, Wen Rou laughed and said, “I know someone who has perfectly answered this question.”

Yan Fei was taken aback and asked, “Is there really someone in the world who has perfectly answered this question?”

Wen Rou replied with a smile, “Of course, there is.”

Yan Fei inquired, “Who is that person?”

Wen Rou continued with a smile, “It is Tripitaka, the monk from the Tang Dynasty who went on a pilgrimage to retrieve scriptures.”

Yan Fei, not understanding, asked, “How did he answer it?”

Wen Rou seriously responded, “Every time Tripitaka introduced himself, he would say, 'I, monk Xuanzang, come from the Great Tang in the east and travel to The Western Paradise to worship Buddha and retrieve the scriptures…'”

Yan Fei, astonished, said, “Is that…. considered an answer?”

Wen Rou replied with a laugh, “That is the answer, isn't it?”

As Yan Fei was about to argue, the pressure cooker in the kitchen started whistling. Wen Rou said, “Oh dear, my chicken soup is ready!”

After saying that, Wen Rou left the study to take care of the chicken soup in the kitchen.

Upon reflecting on Wen Rou's recent words, Yan Fei suddenly shook his head, feeling that he had almost fallen into a dead end. So, he stopped thinking about the unanswerable question and continued to kill monsters and upgrade in the game…
